Features: This book is primarily intended as a textbook for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning engineering programs. It can also serve as a supplementary teaching material for correspondence courses and self-study exams, or as a reference for professionals in related fields. This book is part of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" teaching materials for higher vocational and technical colleges. It is compiled in line with the characteristics of higher vocational and technical education, focusing on the training objectives of applied talents. During the writing process, emphasis is placed on linking theory with practice, highlighting application, and following the cognitive patterns of learners. The content is carefully selected. The textbook fully embodies the principles of "applicability, practicality, comprehensiveness, and advanced technology." The book is divided into two parts: Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. Engineering Thermodynamics mainly includes: thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, the thermodynamic properties of gases and thermodynamic processes, steam, humid air, power cycles, and thermodynamic cycles. Heat Transfer mainly includes: conduction, convective heat transfer, thermal radiation, and mass transfer.
